Skylec Shaders, designed to load through Optifine or Iris, is a shader pack for Minecraft that doesn’t have a particular focus, but makes a wide range of changes, big and small, to give Minecraft a brand-new look. There are realistic shadows, though somewhat basic, as well as flickering torchlight, realistic and puffy clouds rather than the standard blocky ones, and water-rippling effects, just to name a few right away. Those water effects might be the best change of the bunch, since the clarified liquid will allow you to see to the bottom of rivers, lakes, and ponds, though you’ll still be diving in the dark if you boat out into the middle of the ocean.
Light hitting the water will refract, bouncing around and rippling just like the liquid. This pack is a great option if you’ll be doing a stranded playthrough on an island or something like that. Skylec Shaderrs adds some wavering effects to grass and trees too, making the world seem more alive. No wind effects, but with the way things move, thanks to these shaders, it looks well enough like constant breezes are blowing. Bright purples, pinks, and blues roll through the sky with the rising and falling of the sun, making for beautiful early mornings and evenings. Even the underground is beautified thanks to glowing ores, though it’s silly that coal glows too.
Skylec Shaders hasn’t been updated since Minecraft 1.16 was a thing, but all functions still working on the latest version of Minecraft. But, if you don’t mind making that little adjustment, what you get from Skylec Shaders is big boosts to visual fidelity. These shaders were designed to do this without hindering performance very much, but players with lower-end systems will notice a slowdown.
